Apartment building, Nad Vinohradem St., Prague

The main
volume of the house consists of two basic masses, bottom and top. Four
residential floors are in the bottom mass, which forms the base and the
main impression of the building. The offset on the left side of the
building reacts to the terrain conditions and shows the direction of the
slope. The top floor recedes and is almost invisible from the street.
It accommodates one apartment only, with manyterraces, a private garden
and a skylight. The surface of the top mass surface is maximally glazed
to look as light as possible. Most of the building surface materials
have natural colours and textures. The only colour that is used on the
building surface is yellow - rolling shutters in the windows and cement
trowel-on-coating in the corridors.
